New Order's Bernard Sumner told Radio X's Sunta Templeton: "We're very excited about doing it. We've never played Latitude before, but I know the area well."

He added: "This new album - Music Complete - lends itself very well to a live performance. All the songs are really high-energy and it's been easy to slot them into the set."

The Maccabees' Felix White also told Phil Clifton: "It's a big thing for us to be headlining a festival like that to be honest, because we've been playing all these kind of English festivals for maybe even more than ten years.

"And, from playing first on the new bands tent, to eventually reach the top of them... It's a pretty good feeling".

You can listen to his full interview with Phil Clifton on-air tonight from 7pm.

Also heading for the the three-day-event are Chvrches, M83, Father John Misty, Daughter and Frightened Rabbit.
